Snohomish Co. Seeks Ideas on Housing Near Light Rail

Snohomish County is inviting local residents to share their thoughts on housing options near future light rail stations in a significant community engagement effort. The "Light Rail Communities" project aims to influence zoning and placemaking decisions around two, or possibly three, stations between Lynnwood and Everett. Residents are encouraged to participate in the virtual public engagement, ensuring a diverse range of ideas is considered. The initiative highlights the importance of community input in urban planning, especially as public transportation expands. For more information, including links to a short survey and educational workshops, residents can visit the Seattle Transit Blog.

This project not only aims to enhance housing availability but also to foster a sense of community around public transit. As Snohomish County prepares for these developments, the engagement process underscores the value of collaboration between local government and citizens. Such initiatives are crucial for creating livable, sustainable communities that meet the needs of all residents.
